Bodies should represent a 1/32 Formula 1 car of the 1.5 era and can be made from wood, plastic, fiberglass or resin. No vac-formed bodies please. Yes RTRs are OK for this race.

It is asked that racers using a severely scale challenged RTR body use the original running gear so as not to gain any advantage from a wider body. (See below for motor rule) The majority of these cars were very skinny!

Must be painted in the same overall color of the original car being reproduced. Allowances will be made for RTRs but please no chrome BRMs, Ferraris or other.

An eligible car list will be provided to help those historically challenged.

The following is our current LEGAL motor list for the race.

BWA NC1

BWA 050

M/T-1

M/T SL-1

Ninco NC-1

Ninco NC-8

Solarbotics RM1A

​MOST original stock motors that come in modern reproductions by Scalextric, SCX and others are illegal unless prior approval has been given.

Chassis can be any material.

The spec tire is made by DART Hobbies: Either tire can be used front or rear. (Ex you could use RM0201 for both front and rear)

RM0201

RM0202

Other rules

Front wheels and tyres: Minimum diameter 19mm, minimum width 5mm

Rear wheels and tyres: Minimum diameter 20mm, maximum width 9mm

Minimum ground clearance: 1.5mm

Track dimensions must be 1/32 scale within + or 2mm but must not exceed a maximum overall width of 54mm

Must have driver and period inserts

Must have 3 numbers.

I dont think any of these motors provide magnetic traction so no worries there.

All rules are subject to change until they are locked down. So you nit pickers out there please speak up or forever hold your piece. Yes I know those are 13in tires and and I do not yet know what their dimensions will be once mounted and yes you can mount them on 15in or even 17in wheels but so as you know during this era the tires did go from very skinny to donuts and the wheels went from 15in to their current 13in size so this is a compromise tire.

I may change the minimum diameter once I have samples in hand to allow for some sanding. Oh yes did I mention sanding and truing. This will be allowed but please only use these tires. Any tire treatment, blessing or exorcism can be performed but prior to hitting the track they should be dry.

Plastic as in Scalextric, SCX, or model kit. No Lexan or equivalent please. I know that there are materials that are not much different than what we are allowing and after holding one of Mike G's paper-thin resin bodies we may institute a minimum weight rule next year. We are simpl- minded folks so we are thinking hardbodies only here.

As far as proxy we would love to have some for the price of return postage. I drove your Group 5 car and it ran real well.
